When 3d printing the prototype, it is better to use ABS or photosensitive resin

photosensitive resin and ABS are common materials for 3d printing. One of the questions that 3D printing enthusiasts who have just started to ask is: what kind of material is better for ABS compared to photosensitive resin. The answer lies in understanding the differences in the properties of these two materials before they can be used according to specific conditions.

ABS material

print performance:

in terms of the nature of the material, ABS plastic is fairly easy to print from the thermal end point of view. No matter what kind of extruder is used, the material will be squeezed smoothly without worrying about clogging or solidification. Secondly, the ABS material is also soft and will only bend even if it is under pressure and will not break. It is suitable for making bracelets and other wearables.

disadvantages:

The disadvantage when printing the ABS prototype is that there is a strong smell when printing. This small series is deeply experienced. Every time I go to the 3d printing room, as long as the machine is running, it will produce a pungent and unpleasant smell. 'I don't know, just smell it! ' This is the motto of the 3D printer technician in 1990s. If you don't know whether the photo-sensitive resin material or ABS material is being printed, you can smell it.

photo-sensitive resin

photosensitive resin is generally liquefied, printing objects using this material generally have the features of high strength, high temperature resistance and waterproof. However, the light-sensitive resin material is easy to cause hardening without use for a long time, and the material has certain toxicity, and it needs to be closed and stored in a state that is not used.

The above is the summary of the extension model when printing the prototype in 3d, it is better to use ABS or photosensitive resin, hope to help you.
